- Equal frozen corn (1:1, thaw and drain for most uses) (Cook Plate Fork)Best texture match for fresh kernels. For roasting or baking, can be added frozen directly. Add a pinch of salt to match canned's seasoning.
- 1½ cups drained canned corn per 15 oz can (soups, casseroles, sautés) (Flavor 365)Drain well — canned corn sits in salty/sugary brine. Reduce added salt accordingly. Avoid as a fresh swap in salads or salsas where pop and bite matter.
